In response to the growing epidemic of pain pill overdoses throughout the United States, David G. Greenberg, M.D., MPH, and his team at http://www.painpillod.com are creating an Online National Pain Pill Overdose Memorial.

Dr. David Greenberg

For years, I have personally seen the source and effects of this problem, and the resulting harm to friends and family members. I decided to create a place where people can share the stories of those they have lost.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB)July 09, 2013

This Memorial, the first of its kind, is designed to honor and share the memories of unintentional overdose victims and to ensure their story is told. The Memorial will feature a graphical scrolling representation for each person who has passed away because of an overdose. While the team at http://www.painpillod.com understands it is difficult to provide information on individuals who are deceased, friends and family members are invited to submit their loved one’s story so they too may become a part of this Memorial. The Memorial will share the victim’s life with others, and serve as a warning to help protect others from becoming victims of this ever-increasing epidemic.

Dr. David Greenberg, founder of the Memorial, works with addicts on a regular basis and states, “For years, I have personally seen the source and effects of this problem, and the resulting harm to friends and family members. I decided to create a place where people can share the stories of those they have lost, and allow those stories to be told online. Friends and families of victims are not alone, and they need to know that.”
